The Health Ministry confirmed Wednesday the first two swine flu cases in the country. Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari said lab test results revealed the patients, one in Jakarta and the other in Bali, had contracted the new strain of H1N1 influenza virus. A 37-year-old Indonesian pilot, identified only as WA, was admitted to the Sulianti Saroso Hospital in North Jakarta last Friday. He visited Australia on June 14 and Hong Kong on June 18.
“He is still in the isolation room although he is in good condition,” Siti was quoted by Kompas.com as saying. Another swine flu case was found in the Sanglah General Hospital in Bali. The patient is a British tourist identified as BM, who was admitted to the hospital on June 20. “A lab test result found her H1N1 positive,” Siti said. She urged the people to remain cautious because the HiN1 virus had been spreading relatively fast from Australia.
